As the last day of classes have finally concluded, the only thing between Lipscomb students and summer are exams.

Countless hours of making flash cards, pulling all-nighters and having an incredibly large consumption of coffee is what seems to be on the horizon for many students.

But not everyone is on the exact same page. Some students are just finishing their first year of college and making plans for summer trips, while others are on the verge of graduating and searching for jobs.

Senior Kenny Smith is one who is ready for the road ahead.

“I can’t wait to be done with school,” Smith said. “I’m just excited to finally start a new chapter of my life and see what’s in store.”

Though Smith is thrilled for his life as a student to finally come to an end, he admits that it can be frightening.

“The most challenging thing is not knowing — not knowing exactly who you’ll work for or where you’ll end up living,” Smith said.

But on the other side of the spectrum, some students will be returning after a much needed summer break.

Sophomore Abigail Newby said that she plans to go home to relax and unwind.

“I thought about applying for an internship here in Nashville, but when thinking about the wear and tear I took on from being an athlete and not having to be in such a rush to put things together, I just plan on staying Nashville for the next summer,” Newby said.
